Carlsbad, Calif.—The Gemological Institute of America has begun the two-year technique of going paperless.
In the beginning of the brand new yr, the lab launched the absolutely digital GIA Diamond File, the primary of its studies to make the transition.
The primary digital Diamond File, its hottest report, was issued at GIA’s lab in Ramat Gan, Israel on Monday.
As an alternative of a paper Diamond File, GIA-graded diamonds now can be returned with a QR code.
These eager to entry the report can scan the QR code to open it within the GIA app, which launched in June and is broadly accessible for Apple and Android units. (The Android app for China continues to be in improvement.)
They will then save the report from the app to their Apple Pockets, like they do with boarding passes and occasion tickets.
GIA plans for all its studies to be digital by 2025, although it hasn’t but introduced which report can be digitized subsequent.
